Premium Member The Emperor's Reply

Why weren't any of the great emperors, or even those of lesser renown, enticed to acquire such a rich piece of land in the East? There aren’t much of historical archives shedding light on the subject, but it is possible that events could unfold in this way – Plutarch could have expounded this legend far more colourfully than your humble servant. A Roman emperor receives an ambassador from one of the eastern countries, who inclines him to conquer the neighbouring land. The Emperor finds the plan reasonable, so during the conversation he decides to invade the eastern lands of the barbarians, in particular to prevent their possible aggression against Rome. However, the problem is that the climate in these lands requires fur garments; otherwise, the valiant Roman legionaries would think only about how to get warm, hence will be unable to fight. Our country, the ambassador reported, are ready to solve this problem, they can sell the Romans excellent fur coats, for a small sum of money. However, the sum seems exorbitant, and the emperor refuses the ambassador. The next day the emperor is informed about the envoy from the barbarians, and he receives the barbarian in his chambers. I am aware of your intentions, my great emperor, says the barbarian, and I am prepared to arrange a deal on fur coats at half the price offered to you, as you can buy the required amount of fur coats directly from us. Although I myself am a barbarian, I have a Roman mentality, my great emperor, and I sincerely wish you to conquer our lands to establish your Roman law and order over there. When I read your laws, I just cried with happiness, how much justice and wisdom they conceive. There is no need to drink wine, just read a page of your laws and I feel groggy with delight. I'm sure all the powerful barbarians will accept your rule without question and praise your wisdom in their prayers. So, shall we make a bargain, great emperor? ‘No!’ followed the cold reply. 'I refuse to make a deal, and I see no point in wasting energy on conquering your lands. Once we conquer you, we will gradually become as conniving, vile, cynical, and vengeful cunnings as you are. That is not the future I want for Greater Rome. So get out, Mr Barbarian. Thank you so much for your wisdom and time, my great emperor, the barbarian says. You’ve given me exactly the answer I expected to hear.

The Gospel of Fear

If you, my friend, need some encouragement
Then avoid the gospel of fear
Your faith needs steadfast nourishment
We have trials coming near

God never wanted us as robots
Or slaves to His regime
He wanted nothing less then freedom
And salvation for you and me

What's hell? It's being preached
And it's often not of God 
If you find yourself there my friend
Take heart: 
You're alive in Satan's jaws

"For the wages of sin is death;"
And not too many want to die
But if you can't stand the Force that gives you life
You won't want to be alive

And that my friend is hell
Willing God to put you down
Let's you and me, the two of us
Make our decision now

The wicked will turn to ashes
God takes no pleasure in their pain
I would contend with you today my friend
The God of Jesus is humane

His patience is a miracle 
But judgement will be soon
Your another soul and a gift to my heart
Tell me, what will you do?

Romans 6:23 KJV For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord

Premium Member For Granted Salvation

I thank the Lord for His granted salvation*
Assuring me of heaven against hell’s awful damnation.

Claiming His regeneration-promise with His faithfulness 
I delight in God’s constant loving kindness.

With His redemption-security midst doubt’s obscurity
My soul seeks the Saviour’s guidance of supreme certainty.

Cheered up by justification-seal according to the Scriptures
I’m protected from false teachings and vain religiosity’s overtures.

Adhering to His righteousness-imputation truth that endures forever
My faith depends His Word as His illumined believer.

Earnestly asking the Almighty Him for enlightening transformation-wisdom
I claim His counsel’s guidance in abiding in His liberating freedom.

Thankful to Christ for conversion victory
My spirit praises His deeds of wondrous miracles and marvelous glory.
 
Sealed with the Holy Ghost with life eternal, verily precious
I vow to share the Gospel* with His mercy, absolutely gracious.

*Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth.

Premium Member EASTER

Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace is counted wise:
And he that shutteth his lips is deemed a man of understanding 
Seek the lord while he may be found 
Trust in the lord with all your heart and lean not to your own understanding   
Even a child is known by his doings
Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer 

Even though I am of sin he gave his life for me
Angels are my guardians guiding and praying
Somber days come and go and tests some I fail
Tribulations lord knows well, he save me from hell
Enjoying blessing of Easter, hearts and joy from above
Remembering to serve my master and to return his love

The first six lines are quotes from these bible verses:

Thank You that You are my Sanctifier Who forgives my confessed iniquity
Above any precious reward compensating debts’ propensity
Beyond all unscriptural authority of worthless integrity.

Thank You that You are my Enabler by Your gracious engagement
Above any arrogant promise of vain fulfillment
Beyond all futile achievements propelled by selfishness’ entitlement. 

Lord God, You are my faith’s Righteousness 
over every shallow devotion
Thank You that You are my Checker Who rebukes my lack of dedication
Above any well-planned activity, but of carnal intention
Beyond all business ventures hiding fleshly ambition. 

Lord God, You are my faith’s Righteousness 
over every work of boasting
Thank You that You are my Encourager along prayer-requests granting
Above any haughty attitude along successful goal setting
Beyond all fake news besetting truths that lead to doubting.

Premium Member Trust Him

We pray, sometimes, for our own wants
Or the things we need to live
Not thinking of God’s will at all
Or what He wants us to hear

We pray, some days, for blessings
Or treasures found on earth
Not considering God’s purpose
In all that we think, do or say

We pray, during moments of worry
For our anxiety to go away
Never reflecting on God’s reasons
For not giving us serenity this day

We pray, many times for answers
That will give us what we desire
Not contemplating God’s nature
Which is true to the one who trusts

We pray, without truly realizing
Our aspirations aren’t all to remember
God works everything together for good
To those who love Him as they should

We pray, thinking He might fulfill a wish
Never imagining that He knows best
And whatever He answers, have faith
Know that He responds with true grace

We pray, but do we trust Him to give us
His best, the blessings that come when
We have been saved, forgiven, washed 
In the blood of the One who died for us

Sweet Jesus





Romans 8:28 King James Version (KJV) - And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
